What the Russian Lives on.

The simplicity Of diet to which tho
Russian is accustomed gives him 8
great advantaRe in enduring the pri-
vations Of q campaign. Where an
Englishman would be half starved,
tho Russian finds his ration sufficient.
According to the ARMED Strength Of
Russia" the men receive amess allow
ance which is calculated to give them
one-third Of q pound of meat on 1876
days OF the year. The ramainiD. 169
days are observed as lasts according
to the rules Of the Greek Church! In
addition, about 2 pounds Of flour,
which the men bake into bread for
themselves, or pound 13 ounces OF
biscuits, is issued per man, and to othls
is added As ounces of groats. As
ounces Of salt, and for every 100 men
IL ITO ounces tea and 2 pounds 8
$40 ounces OF sugar. Asagainsu this,
the daily field ration of the British
soldier is l pound Of meat, ! IL
pounds bread or l pound biscuit, l-3
ounce coffee, 1-6 ounce tea, 2 ounces
sugar, and 1-2 ounce salt. and when
hard work is being done another Ia
pound meat is added if possible, and
it is also usual to serve out ounces
compressed vegetables. or ounces
preserved potatoes. At home grocer
les and vegetables are not issued as
rations, but a. sum not exceeding Sd.
a day is stopped out OF the mems
pay to form a mess fund, out of which
they supply themselves with such ex-
tras. The difference in the fare OF the
two armies is sufficiently striking; and
the thought Immediately arises, how
could the multilarious wants OF En-
glishmen have been stopped in the
snowy passes of the Balkans? or how
would the British soldier have worked
on Russian rations? The weight of the
English daily ration is about 8 1~2
pounds; that Of the Russian is about
2 pounds. Every Russian regiment
has on hand eight days supply of
biscuits, which is renewed once q
month; when marching, FIVE days.
supply is carried with the regimental
wagons and three days allowance by
the men themselves. What a relief it
would be to the cares Of an English
General if his commissariat arrange
ments could be thus simplifed!

A Timely Lesson.


The Rochester Democrat tells how
an actor gave q needed and timely les
son to three foolish little maids:
The last time Edwin Arden played
at the academy Of music he al uncon-
sciously captivated the hearts of q
trio of school girls, the oldest Of whom
had reached the mature age Of fourteen
years. Their regard for the young act
Or increased to such proportions dur
ing the week that they hired = box one
evening and sent a box of roses to the
object of their affection. Mr.. Arden
acknowledged. the compliment by. q
SLIGHT bow to the delighted occupants
Of the box and at the close Of the per.
formance sought the waiting misses
and escorted them to q neighboring
restaurant, where he did the honors
in q Diamond Dick" fashion that
completely entranced his companions.
But q surprise awaited the latter,
for the actor rather abruptly ended
the interview by speaking in g kindly
but impressive manner OF the folly Of
the whole proceeding and warning his
. youthful admirers that Irritation, no
matter how innocently begun. mieht

pany.
Josiah Miller went to an insurance
company to get a policy on one OF his
vessels that was about to sail from
the West Indies for New York citv
with valuable cargo. The Newly ork
Sun tells the story in the following
language: The insurance was heavy
and so was the premium, because the
ship was not rated very we'll at Llyod's.
Mr.. Miller paid the premium and was
told to call IN a day or two for the
policy. He called several times. but
the clerks always had an excuse to Of

policy. but would do so when became in,

went up to the insurance Office and said

A Mass of Valuable Information
Regarding the Smiths.

From the New York Home Journal.
Mythology gives the highest place
it it's pantheon to Vulcan, the god ot
fire. For notwithstanding he is rep.
resented as bearded, covered with
dust and SCOT, blowing the fires of his
forges and surrounded by his chief
ministers, the Cyclops, he is given We
nus to wife and made the father of Gu
pid. Among the Scythians the iron
sword was god. When Jerusalem
was taken by the Babylonians, they
made captives of all the smiths and
other craftsmen of the city-a more
grievious act than the tribute levied
upon France by Germany at the close
OF he war in 1870. For to be de-
prived OF the use Of iron is to be rele-
gated to a state OF barbarism.
The vulgar accounted for the keen
ness OF the sword-blades on the score
OF magic, and the praises of the smiths
who forged were sung with the chiefs
ct cavalry who welded them. So
highly was this mysterious power re-
garded by Tancred, the crusader, that
in return for King Arthur's sword,
Excaliber, by Richard l, he paid for it
with flour great ships and fifteen GAL
leys."
The Smith was a mighty man in
England in the early time. "In the
royal court of Wales he sat with the
King and Queen and was entitled to a
draught OF every kind of liquor serv-
ed" His person was sacred; his call
ing placed him above the law. He
was necessary to the feudal state; he
forged swords 'ton the temper of which
life, honor and victory in battle de-
pended" The Smith, after the Nor
man invasion. gained in Importance
in England. He was the chief man OF
the village and the most cunning work
man OF the time. His name descended
to more families than that of any 9th
er profession-for the origin of the
name Smith is the hot. dusty, smoky
smithy, and however it may be dis.
guised in the spelling, it is entitled to
the proud distinction which it's repre-
sentatives sometimes seek to conceal.

Mrs. BOwser's Hired Girl.

Mrs. Bowser has hired girl-but let
the Detroit Free Press tell the story
in its own language:
When we began housekeeping and
got our first hired girl, Mr. Bowser
called me into the library, shut the
door and dropped his voice down to
the confidential pitch and said:
''Mrs. Bowser, let's start out right.
Let's respect the feelings OF that poor
girl in the Kitchen"
"Certainly."
"She's just as good as w are, and
we mustn't put on any airs over her.
She shall eat at the table with us, and
might learn her to sing and play the
piano."
~ can't quite agree with you, Mr..
Bowser."
"Oh. you can't! Woman's moral
enemy is woman. Well, I'm going out
to have little talk with Eliza and
tell her what am willing to do"
listened at the kitchen door. Mr..
Bowser is no man to Beat abeut the.
bush. He went right at the businesass
in hand by saying:
ELIZA, nobility does not consist ine
riches"
She slid away from him toward
tho sink.
"You are not to blame for being u ,
your present position. How won 4
you like to take singing lessons?".
She looked at him with an op en-
mouth. &c.,.
"And learn to play the piano?"
She opened her mouth still widG ;.
"And perhaps learn how to sk etch
and paint?'
She seized a pan Of water u tbs
sink and whirled on him with:
